Hunter’s notes: Wildfire at Silver Dollar City in Branson. That’s me looking at the camera miming “wow”. Thanks Anne for the shot!

Photo Scavenger Hunt Conclusion: Overall, I think this went pretty well. In the end I only missed four out of 23 of the words generated for the scavenger hunt, putting me at 82.6% completion. I did not come up with an entry for Predicted, Sufficient, Rosewood, and Gristliest. I should have gotten sufficient and gristliest. Rosewood and Predicted are obviously a bit tough.

Overall, I think the photos, in terms of interestingness, composition, and colors were pretty average for my abilities, skill set, and available technology. A few of them (like the rejected entries for coin and the submissions for connubial and perverseness) really stood out for me and I really like; a few others (like stakeout and flesh) I absolutely hate and would not ever have posted outside of this project. Overall, if I had to judge my own photography in relation to all the other photographs I’ve posted, I’d put these smack dab at average. I’ll call it an even 70%.

Final self-evaluated grade for this project: 76.3%

Hunter’s notes: Connubial – (adj) pertaining to marriage. Thanks to Anne for the idea! This was a tough photo to execute. The camera’s propped in the shower soap dish and Anne and I are wedged against the wall. Totally worked for the shot, except my creepy stare kind of ruins it.

Hunter’s notes: This one was one of my favorites to make. 1) That’s a wadded up piece of toilet paper, not a wadded up doily. 2) that is supposed to be a bottle of lotion behind the toilet paper. 3) That is the 2010 calendar of “Great [sic] American Conservative Women”. I can think of nothing more perverse.

Hunter’s notes: This one’s a bit disappointing. I was hoping to actually grill some meat and get a good picture of a steak on a grill. Unfortunately, the week of my imposed scavenger hunt was the first week all summer that we didn’t grill anything. I’m going to give this one an overall D-. An F for photo quality/interestingness and a D for relevance to the word “flesh” (and for not resorting to a sultry photo of human skin). I’ll also note that the lighting inside my refrigerator is impeccable.

Hunter’s notes: from somewhere in Silver Dollar City. I’m still not happy with how well this fits the concept of “scene”, but it was the closest I got. I’m considering this entry a failure. Here are a couple more (also from Branson) that I rejected for not quite fitting the “scene” category.

Hunter’s notes: this was one of the straightforward “common nouns” that was generated. I feel like the shot (above) is a little bit blatant, so I also submit these ‘rejects’ that I felt too subtly represented “coin” to make the cut.

Last week, I decided to create a photo scavenger hunt for myself using this website. Over the next week, I will be posting the results of this scavenger hunt. Here are the rules that I gave myself as well as the list of words generated for the hunt:
